BA 'locking up'

[allgreen]

Gary, I am having problems with BA installed on one of my two computers.

When I open BA then click to make a bet the program immediately 'locks up' and doesn't respond to the mouse - I have to ctrl/alt/delete to close the program.

The program itself is still working as all the odds etc keep updating it's just that an invisible force field has been activated to defend BA from any attack by my poor little mouse.

About a week ago I installed and ran CCleaner for the first time so my first suspicion was that it has deleted a file/s pertinent to the operation of BA.

I have subsequently reinstalled BA with the same result so it would appear the problem is other than with the BA files.

My next (uneducated) guess would be something to do with Net Framework but I have subsequently tried restoring XP to a point before CCleaner was installed and had the same problems so am now unsure what to think.

Gary, any clues please?

Just for info purposes...

I have this program on my home PC and have never found it to cause me the slightest
problem regarding any installation or running of my PC - has always run fine for ages.

Maybe this is of use - Michael

Thanks Michael. It was just a guess on my part as I have never had any problems previously and was all that I could think might be responsible.

Did you untick anything before using CCleaner (eg system files) or just run it as per the default when installed?

Hi allgreen

generally I simply run CCleaner with right click recycle bin ocassionally.
Also I sometimes open and run with default settings - works for me.
As said before I personally have never had a problem with this program.

Hope it helps - Michael

Is this with verify bets ticked? It could be that the popup to enter the bet is appearing off screen. It will prevent the rest of the program from accepting user input until it is closed. Try selecting "Reset place bet popup position" from the options menu before placing your first bet. Once restored it should remember the position you set next time you open the program.

You nailed it in one Gary! Thanks very much.

Quite a relief to get a nice simple answer to the problem after ones mind has been running off at all different tangents.
